England’s Football Fancast reported on the 20th (Korea time) that “Tottenham can appoint another ace as captain instead of Son Heung-min.”
Football FanCast said, “Tottenham and Coach Enze Postecoglou may consider taking Son Heung-min’s captaincy and changing it to another player. Son Heung-min has not signed a new contract yet, and he may not be with Tottenham in the future,” and handed Son’s captain’s armband to another player and said Son Heung-min could also leave the team.
The candidate who can receive the armband instead of Son Heung-min is vice-captain Christian Romero and James Madison, but Guglielmo Vicario. Vicario showed outstanding performance after joining Tottenham last season. Unfortunately, he still maintains his defense capability in set piece defense this season.
Football FanCast said, “Tottenham can choose Vicario as its replacement. If Tottenham activate Son’s contract extension option and Son Heung-min leaves in 2026, they need a candidate to replace him. Vicario can be the captain. This is similar to the case of Hugo Lloris, who has been a long-term captain at Tottenham. Tottenham also show trust in Vicario and want to make him a new Lloris,” explaining that Son could be pushed out of the captaincy and Vicario could take the position. It seems to have predicted that if Son takes the captain’s position from Son Heung-min and replaces it with Vicario, Son will not remain at the club and have other choices.
Son Heung-min has been going through a difficult time with his recent remarks on the North London derby. He lost 0-1 to Arsenal in the fourth round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 15th.
After the game, Son Heung-min also expressed regret. In an interview after the game, Son said, “He dominated the game, but lost a set piece. I think he felt the same frustration as last season, and the fans must have been disappointed. We have to improve and unite in tough moments. Players must take responsibility for scoring goals. To make the right decisions, being cool-headed is the hardest part of soccer. We will rebound strongly. We have a long way to go.”
However, Tottenham fans expressed anger at one of Son’s remarks. It was his claim that he dominated the game. British media outlets said, “The fans ignored Son during the interview. They responded that controlling the ball is different from controlling the game,” adding that fans refuted Son’s opinion.
According to some news, Tottenham fans said, “Son Heung-min is a shameful captain, domination doesn’t win, stupid. He is probably the worst captain in our history,” and “There is no leadership in the stadium. We should leave the position to someone with authority,” and some even argued that the captaincy should be deprived. In addition, Tottenham fans expressed regret through SNS, saying, “He doesn’t look good in the armband. We need another player,” and “We can’t expect much from him.”
However, considering Son Heung-min’s records at Tottenham and his words and actions so far, it seems unlikely that Son Heung-min really wants to leave Tottenham. Son Heung-min also said in June, “I’m always doing my best for Tottenham and I’ll continue to do my best. I’ve always said without hiding that I want to deliver something to Tottenham. This is a promise I made not only with myself but also with the fans, so I want to keep it,” expressing his willingness to win Tottenham. Despite rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia, he clearly expressed his willingness to stay in the EPL. 메이저사이트
